What made you decide to do a television program?
We saw people doing cable access and thought it would be fun to try putting some of our own investigations on
television. And that was wayyyyy before the Ghosthunters. We also had a large wardrobe of Goodwill specials that
we wanted to wear and model.:)
Who is ghosty? and who had the idea for ghosty?
Ghosty is our Mascot:)...It was Cindy's husband Dan that thought of taking a Halloween decoration that usually
goes on the ceiling fan and instead attached to a fishing pole for our show.
Who has been your favorite guest?
That's a toughie. We've met so many wonderful people that it's difficult to choose just one.
Who would you like to have on your show that you haven't had yet?
The late Peter James, Dan Akroyd, Oprah Winfrey, Hans Holtzer, Carol Burnett
Can you discuss the experiment done with the CT Skeptic Society?
Using high end recording equipment the CT Skeptic Society wanted to see if they would be able to acquire
Electronic Voice Phenomenon like we had been getting in a controlled setting. Unfortunately there is no perfectly
controlled setting that we could find. We did make an effort at the Carousel Gardens Restaurant in Seymour CT.
but the restaurant was occupied on all three floors; a lot of background noise interfered with results. However the
lights did go out on their own and at one point there was unexplainable movement of the christmas ornaments thatw
ere dangling from the chandelier which in both instances surprised the Skeptic Society. No plans have been made
to follow up at this time.
What is the importance of discussing history when performing investigations?
The history will tell the story about why there might be a haunting and who might be doing the haunting.
Laverne and Shirley or Cagney and Lacey?
Both...lol definitely a little bit of both. A bit of Lucy and Ethel...and maybe even Laurel and Hardy.:) and Abott and
Costello.
What is one thing you would like everyone to know about doing your show?
We don't rehearse at all...no cue cards and no make up artists. We take great care in interviewing all our guests.
We hope as role models to teach others to respect diversity.
Casper, Jacob Marley or Sam Wheat?
Casper:)
Parting shot! Ask us here at The Magical Buffet any one question?
Do you have a favorite haunted spot?
I'm going to go with Savannah, GA. I've never been there, and I don't even know if there are haunted spots there,
but thanks to "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil", the book and movie, Savannah, GA haunts me.
